You live and study in your own private teacher’s house, share 3 meals a day, receive one-to-one personalised language lessons, and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay as you share the daily life of your teacher and their family. Mealtime con- versation, visits, and social contacts all take place in the language you are study- ing so you never stop learning! Living with your teacher means that you have the opportunity to speak the language before, during and after your lessons for a true full-immersion experi- ence. Your learning is constant and your progress is rapid.

    93 Fari Dismessi. Dall'abbandono Alla

    Annali del Turismo, V, 2016, n.1 Edizioni Geoprogress FARI DISMESSI. DALL’ABBANDONO ALLA RIGENERAZIONE Antonietta Ivona Abstract Lighthouses decommissioned. From abandonment to regeneration. - The Italian legislation on cultural heritage introduced, a few years ago, the concept of enhancement and enjoyment of cultural heritage through the outsourcing of cultural assistance and hospitality services for the public. Particularly, the national Project "Valore Paese" of the Agenzia del Demanio is dedicated to lighthouses and it intends to encourage the promotion of the Italian public real estate through the synergy between the sectors of tourism, art and culture, economic and territorial cohesion. In this sense, the recovery of public assets owned by the State and local authorities has the possibility to be considered not only in terms of cost to the community, but also as a significant lever for territorial and social development, in a logic of public- private partnership. 1. I fari nel tempo Opere di ingegneria umana, ammantate di miti e leggende, i fari sono parte della storia della navigazione. Dai bagliori dei primi fuochi accesi sulle torri di avvistamento fino ai recenti dibattiti sul futuro della rete dei fari, essi hanno da sempre rappresentato anche luoghi identitari. I primi fari che la storia conosce non erano altro che falò di legna accatastata situati nei luoghi più pericolosi per segnalare la rotta ai naviganti. “I primi fuochi, che dovevano restare accesi tutta la notte, richiedevano continua cura: occorreva combustibile, sapienza tecnica, presenza costante dell’uomo” (Mariotti, 2013, p. 10). Con l’evolversi della navigazione commerciale, occorse sostituire i falò con strumenti di segnalazione più sicuri e, quindi, più potenti da ubicare nei porti lungo le nuove rotte commerciali.

    HISP-P290 Global Portuguese: Arts and Culture (3cr.) GEN ED AH & WC + CASE GCC & CASE A&H May 6-25, 2019 Lisbon, Portugal Professor Estela Vieira [[email protected], mobile: +1-203-434-1424] Department of Spanish and Portuguese Course objectives Portuguese is spoken across several continents and is the sixth most spoken language in the world. This course introduces students to one of the first globalized cultures and languages, the Portuguese-speaking world. Based in the second-oldest capital city in Europe, Lisbon, Portugal, we will learn about this global cultural network by hands-on studying of its arts and culture. Lisbon is a cosmopolitan city that has experienced waves of globalization throughout its long history. The course explores the ways and forms with which the Portuguese have historically forged global connections to different parts of the world: Asia, Brazil, and Africa. Thus, while learning about one of Europe’s most fascinating capital cities, students will gain a historical perspective into processes of globalization and a broad understanding of the cultural links between the regions that make up the Portuguese-speaking or Lusophone world. We will begin with an overview of Portuguese expansion in the early modern period and focus on connections between Asia and Portugal. Then we turn to the influence the colonization of Brazil has had on Portugal concentrating on the 18th and 19th centuries. Lastly, we focus on the former Portuguese- speaking African colonies, their struggle for independence, and continued relations to Portugal in the 20th century. Lectures will provide historical, socio-political, and cultural context, and our discussions will be devoted to literary/fictional, cultural, and historical texts, films, paintings, and architecture.

    News Update for London's Museums

    @LondonMusDev E-update for London’s Museums – 10 June 2021 Museum Development London Recovery grants programme (£32k) supported by The Art Fund This programme, supported by The Art Fund, is designed to help museums to analyse and assess their current position and to identify priorities for activity to support post Covid recovery through a short, facilitated self-assessment process. Further to self-assessment and analysis 8 grants of up to £4000 will be available to successful participants. Further information and access to full guidance and application documents can be found here. Deadline for applications to the programme 05 July 2021. Museum Estate and Development Fund (MEND) The MEND grants scheme is an open-access capital fund targeted at non-national Accredited museums and local authorities based in England. Details of How to Apply are available on the ACE website. Closing date for applications: 05 July. As outlined in the ‘roadmap’ for England to move out of lockdown, museums are now able to open. The government has published the ‘COVID-19 Response - Spring 2021’ document, which outlines the plan in more detail. The move out of lockdown is reliant on four conditions which must be met before moving on a step – so these dates should be used as guides for the time being. Government has recently announced the Restart Grant scheme which supports businesses in the non-essential retail, hospitality, leisure, personal care and accommodation sectors with a one-off grant, to reopen safely as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. The grants are available now through your local authorities and consist of either up to £6,000 in the non-essential retail sector (likely to reopen on 12th April) or up to £18,000 in the hospitality, museums, accommodation, leisure, personal care and gym sectors.
